Grandpa Johnson’s

Don Johnson’s

An Old-Hollywood-Glamour Kind of Cahuenga Bar

When Grandpa was your age, he walked to beautiful Cahuenga bars uphill both ways in
the nonexistent snow.

Now that you’re your age, you’ll just get an Uber or something, and then...

One day you’ll tell your own stories about Grandpa Johnson’s, the elegant, long-awaited new
’40s-style cocktail lounge from the creator of Hemingway’s, now open in Hollywood.

We were there last night, and here’s what’s going on inside:

It’s a handsome little lair wrapped floor-to-ceiling in shiny blond woods, white marble and semiprecious
metals. So when your date wants a taste of old Hollywood glamour after catching Hollywood’s latest summer
travesty at the ArcLight, lead the way through the crowd of fedoras, beards and bare shoulders to one of the
two-top tables, boldly emblazoned with a “GJ” and flanked by white couches.
